the problem with doing an evening admission is….getting whoever into the house and settled at least into one room. which is what i did with shep..whipped him into the house, into my room and let him get used to everyone in there. the big dog room can be a bit trickier…jess is a jerk…june has poor intro skills and andy freaks out…i would rather do those intro’s during daylight hours.
so shep is stuck in my room…i can’t get him past the dogs to outside and i don’t want him out there yet anyway cuz he is a bit overwhelmed and i don’t want to risk losing him. so safety first..inside my room he stays. i am fully prepared for him peeing in there…he is here because incontinence is a major issue for him..so i padded the room up well to get thru the night.

this dog is like a super-hero at peeing…he has to have some kind of magical powers (or actual disease) to produce that much urine over 12 hours. i will get him into the vets this week..i think he has cushings.

bess was quite happy that shep was flooding the floor…there were not enough raised dog beds in there to accomondate all of the big dogs and all of shep’s urine so bess got lifted up on my bed to keep her from floating away on the floor.
bess says she really likes my bed…oh yay.

anyway..i will get shep introduced to the other dogs today so he can go in and out as he needs, that should help with his peeing….i hope.

shep is a super nice dog so if it doesn’t, oh well.

as to how am i doing?
my life currently sucks and i don’t want to talk about it.

you’re doing great, Carol. you ARE. just a couple more days to go. count the hours if it helps. (it wouldn’t for me, but it does help for some!)

after your test, don’t skimp. have your NSAIDs and a patch on hand and coffee planned.. decide where you’re going to get it… and get a GOOD coffee, none of the nasty stuff. it may seem stupid to prepare, but when you’re out of the test, you’ll be REALLY happy it’s waiting for you. have everything you could possibly want waiting.

health tests are a real drain. a treat afterwards is what makes mine bearable. if mum is with me, we try to have a good lunch afterwards, usually.

Carol; I’m bringing you some homemade tomato vegetable soup tomorrow (for supper), plus your usual lunch, so you’re covered for tomorrow’s meals. We’ve had more snow here in Hope, but I should be fine for the am, unless another snow storm hits tonight. I hope not.

lots of folks use the belly bands bridget and swear by them….there are just too many incontinents around here to bother with diaper and band changes every couple of hours plus there is the ripper and shredder factor which adds even more clean up (and expense)

but as an incontinence management tool for a single incontinent family dog…they should work pretty good..if bill doesn’t mind them that is.

@thesilencebird Hi Damien we don’t make trips outside of the Lower mainland to pick up animals that are admitted into the sanctuary. The few times we have gone outside of BC we have been lucky in that the shelter arranges for the travel down to us.

Last weekend we attended #vancoufur2018 to showcase SAINTS work. SAINTS ambassador Rayne was thrilled to greet so many new friends.. Thank you to the organizers of this event who raised $2500 for SAINTS. We were humbled by the many people we met who thanked us for our work pic.twitter.com/ky7h…
